Most-quoted passages

The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “Were district courts required to warn litigants before dismissing a case, we would in effect be granting each litigant one opportunity to disregard the court’s schedule without fear of penalty regardless of the harm done to other litigants. Such a rule would impermissibly burden the district courts in their efforts to manage their dockets.”

  2. “[T]he warning requirement is not a 'rigid rule.... It was intended rather as a useful guideline to district judges-a safe harbor to minimize the likelihood of appeal and reversal.'”
